If it weren't led, Bergen-Belsen would have been hard to spot. The camp was built by the Nazis in the middle of the Black Forest, far from residential areas.

Although during World War II, there were no gas chambers in this camp, the guards treated the imprisoned Jews as if they were respectful to the prisoners. But mainly because most of the people in this camp were Jews who were used by the Nazis to exchange prisoners of war with foreigners, not because the Nazis were humane.

From '40 to '45, 120,000 people were imprisoned here, of whom about 60,000 to 70,000 died of starvation and typhoid.

When it was liberated in 45 years, more than 60,000 bones were exhumed and had to be buried by bulldozers.

This also includes Anne Frank, who died of typhoid fever on the eve of liberation, and her sister.

The publication of "Diary of Anne Frank" made many people know about this concentration camp, and when Zhou Nan and his children arrived, they saw many Germans and foreigners coming to pay their respects.

Most of them had relatives who died here, otherwise it would be difficult to get permission from the British.

The British had already prepared to dismantle the camp, but after receiving a note from the Dutch government, they halted the demolition and cooperated with Paramount to complete the film.

Since the original scenery still exists, Paramount didn't spend much money on the setting. Originally, Paramount and Zhou Nan had prepared $200,000 in floating funds, but they still haven't used it yet.

The filming here is also the most budgeted, and in this era of no computer stunts, all of them will hire real people to shoot.

Paramount expected to invite 3,000 people to participate in the shooting, and it was originally afraid that it would not find so many people, but now the Germans are oppressed and have lost their breath, and I heard that if they come to participate in the shooting, they will not only get two meals, but also be paid fifty cents a day, and the list of old people and children who signed up will soon be filled.

An old man with a child, who originally had no income, now has an income of one dollar a day, and manages two meals, and there is no limit, so that he can eat enough, which makes the Germans who have not eaten a full meal for two or three years unable to be reserved.

Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. This proverb makes sense in any country and in any era.

When you can't even fill your stomach, there is no one who is not struggling to survive.

Those old people would rather go hungry themselves than feed their children, but there is no way. When there is an opportunity to improve their conditions, no one can hold on.

Although the film is a bashing of the Nazis, no one cares.

Moreover, there is another reason why there are so many people who sign up is because of Zhou Nan.

The winter of 46 was a rare winter in a century, and the British could not bring enough food to fill the stomachs of the Germans, and countless Germans died due to lack of food and clothing.

Zhou Nan got 10,000 tons of grain from the Soviet Union, 3,000 tons were left for the public, and the remaining 7,000 tons were sold at a fair price in the surrounding areas.

His asking price was cheaper than that of the British merchants, and he did not ask for gold and silver jewelry, unlike the British. As long as it is a valuable antiquity, even if it is a comb, a dining table, or a jewelry box, Zhou Nan wants it, and rarely lowers the price.

Seven thousand tons of grain is not much, but this is all that Zhou Nan can take out. Until a few months ago, and now, food has been the world's scarce hard currency.

It's just that now it's warm, and wild vegetables have grown in the fields, and people can dig some wild vegetables in the fields to satisfy their hunger, so that the famine is not as cruel as winter.

At present, Germans are pinning their hopes on this year's summer and autumn grain harvests, so as to alleviate the state of food shortage in Germany. However, seeing that Germany still has a lot of land left barren because of the lack of tools, no one dares to have much hope.

The film hasn't started yet, so there aren't many people here, just a few workers clearing the grass in the camp.

Producer West and director Wilder gave Zhou Nan a warm welcome, but unfortunately, the film shot in the Netherlands had been shipped back to the United States for development, and Zhou Nan could not see Audrey's image on the screen.

However, they all praised Audrey's acting skills, which made Audrey proud but also a little embarrassed. Because she can feel it herself, the producers and directors praise her, and only a small part of the reason is really because of her acting skills, but mainly because of politeness.

Seeing the preparation of the film with his own eyes, Zhou Nan knew that the shooting of a movie was so troublesome. The presentation of each shot requires the director to find the background in reality little by little, and then draw a good storyboard script.

Wilder and a large group of people may argue for a long time over how to shoot a shot. There are many professional terms, Zhou Nan can't understand at all.

This is still not the preparation before the start of filming, and when it comes to shooting, the director must have determined the outline of each character in mind where it is, what actions it does, and what words it says.

The crew is nearly 90 kilometers away from Wolfsburg, and the filming here is expected to take half a month. Audrey came here, where she lived, and how she planned her life.

Caroline was going to let Audrey live at home, but Audrey had to go back and forth for three hours a day, and sometimes shoot night shots, which was too inconvenient to go back and forth.

Both the field manager and Audrey explained for a long time before Caroline nodded and agreed that she was staying in the concentration camp during the filming.

However, she also set up her mother's shelf and arranged Audrey's life. She asked all about which room to live in, how to arrange it, what quilt to use, and what pillow.

Audrey would only be impatient if Mrs. Hemstra did this, but Caroline would only be moved by her concern for her.

Claudio was also a little jealous, hugged Audrey and said, "Mom only feels sorry for you now, not for me." ”

Caroline snorted and said, "You are now the daughter-in-law of the Rommel family, but Audrey is the daughter-in-law of our Hoffman family." ”

Claudio pretended to be hurt and said, "But I'm the daughter of the Hoffman family!" The amused women couldn't help laughing, and quickly restrained their smiles.

Because of their faith, most Westerners do not shy away from death and graves. In the East, residents generally live far away from the cemetery, and houses close to the cemetery will be much cheaper.

However, in Europe and the United States, cemeteries are often built like a park, and the houses around the cemetery are more expensive than ordinary communities. People also often go to the cemetery for a walk, exercise, and there are no taboos.

But sixty or seventy thousand people died here, and when you come here, you still have to maintain due respect for those who died.

After arranging Audrey's life here, Caroline was afraid that Bonita would not be able to take care of Audrey alone, so she asked Erwin's nanny, Dina Feliers, to follow her and take care of her.

Dinah is a simple sixteen-year-old girl, her brother is an engineer in Volkswagen, and her family has many siblings and has a difficult life. Relying on her brother's relationship, she finally competed for this position.

Although she is younger than Audrey, she is very sensible, diligent, and neat, and stays alone when she has nothing to do, and does not show herself.

In this regard, Zhou Nan and Audrey couldn't refute it and obeyed her.

Subsequently, a group of people picked some wildflowers in the woods next to the concentration camp and weaved two wreaths. Accompanied by producer West, they toured the entire camp and finally laid wreaths at the mass grave.

Otto Frank had been promoting Anne's story since the end of the war, and had built a tombstone for Anne and her sisters here before that.

Audrey looked at the tombstone with white letters on a black background, and somehow became sad, at first she just cried silently, and then she couldn't control herself.

Caroline comforted them for a while, and called out to Zhou Nan: "Jonas, come here." ”

West said empathetically: "Miss Hepburn has been fully engaged in the role of Anne during filming, and now she is a little sad to see Anne's tombstone. Go and comfort her, I'll go and see if the hay is ready. ”

Zhou Nan shook his hand and said, "Thank you for taking care of Audrey, in Amsterdam, you have always taken good care of her." ”

"Here's what we're supposed to do......"

Filming in the concentration camp, as well as some winter footage. It was summer, so the crew dug up a weed with roots to dry and spread it on a playground in the concentration camp as a backdrop for winter.

Although Zhou Nan didn't understand, he also knew that such a scene layout was still very conscientious. In some TV and movies in later generations, those goofs are even more ridiculous.

When they came to the women's side, they heard Audrey sobbing and saying, "Anne is like another me, we were both born in 29 years, I am only 39 days older than her, and we have all lived in Amsterdam." I was lucky enough to meet Jonas and left the Netherlands, but she was hiding in an attic in Amsterdam at that time. My luck set off Anne's misfortune, which filled my heart with uneasiness and guilt. Mother Caroline, isn't God merciful? But why would you be willing to hurt such a lovely girl? ”

"God's will cannot be guessed...... Caroline didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only say, "It's because you and Anne seem to be two ends of the same destiny that you have to live well with her mission, don't you?" ”

"Happiness is always in our own hands...... Zhou Nan came to Audrey, looking at her tearful eyes with pear blossoms and rain, and felt distressed. Audrey, happiness is something we have to strive for, not by God's will, and it is because of our efforts that we have traveled from the Netherlands to Switzerland and lived a happy and stable life. All of this is done by ourselves, not by God. ”

Audrey threw herself into Zhou Nan's arms like a pitiful little and pressed her face against his chest. "Jonas, is happiness really in our own hands? But I feel like I'm a person who sits back and enjoys what happens, and everything depends on your efforts. ”

Zhou Nan felt that this was the pressure she had brought her, and she felt even more pity for him in her heart. "We are husband and wife, we are one, happiness is maintained by the two of us, now I do a little more, you can do a little more in the future......"

She nodded heavily and said, "Jonas, I will take care of our happiness." ”
